The 287 series is a limited express DC electric train developed by JR West based on the 683 series-4000 series, and is currently active on the "Kounotori" and "Kuroshio" trains. To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the "Kuroshio" limited express service in 2025, a 60th anniversary wrapping set began operating in July of the same year. The first set featured a design inspired by the 381 series "Super Kuroshio," which had been in operation since 1989. A second set, featuring a wave-inspired design from the front to the sides, began operating in August of the same year. The first set is scheduled to run until February 2026, and the second set is scheduled to run until November 2028. Following the first set, this second set of wrapping sets, released to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the "Kuroshio" limited express service, is now available. The front decoration, inspired by the wave design around the headlights that runs from the front to the sides of the leading cars at both ends of the train, has been faithfully reproduced. Enjoy it alongside the 10-2175 287 Series "Kuroshio" 60th Anniversary Wrapping, scheduled for release in December 2025, and the currently popular 10-1179S/1180 287 Series "Kuroshio."
